Position Format is specified by:
PF
m.n
where m is the number of digits to the left of the decimal point (0 thru 10) and n is the number of digits
to the right of the decimal point (0 thru 4) A negative sign for m specifies hexadecimal format.
to the right of the decimal point (0 thru 4) A negative sign for m specifies hexadecimal format.
Hex values are returned preceded by a $ and in 2's complement. Hex values should be input as signed
2's complement, where negative numbers have a negative sign. The default format is PF 10.0.

Local Formatting of Response of Interrogation Commands
The response of interrogation commands may be formatted locally. To format locally, use the
command, {Fn.m} or {$n.m} on the same line as the interrogation command. The symbol F specifies
that the response should be returned in decimal format and $ specifies hexadecimal. n is the number of
digits to the left of the decimal, and m is the number of digits to the right of the decimal.
